Laplace's approximation
text:
Laplace's approximation provides an analytical expression for a posterior probability distribution by fitting a Gaussian distribution with a mean equal to the MAP solution and precision equal to the observed Fisher information. The approximation is justified by the Bernstein–von Mises theorem, which states that, under regularity conditions, the error of the approximation tends to 0 as the number of data points tends to infinity. For example, consider a regression or classification model with dat
